M.C. Doc;

Thanks for your reply. I feel privileged to have you reply to one of my posts. Incidentally, I saw the links to your recent race. Congrats.

Thanks for torque spec for the Trans pan. Is the spec for the motor oil pan the same? I wanted to change the gasket and replace the oil pan. It is slightly dented. Not enough to restrict oil flow, but the dented area is beginning to rust.

Now I just need to practice adjusting my torque wrench to the correct setting!

I am sure you hear this all the time, but thank you for moderating the forum and providing much needed and appreciated expert advice (and the occasional opinion too) This forum has helped me a great deal in the short time that I owned a Benz. In fact, the posts have been indispensable in reaching my model # decision when I was looking to purchase an 'older' Benz.

Thanks again,
James
